How does Lennie try to justify the puppy’s death?

English
1 answer:
Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago

Lennie accidentally kills the puppy by petting or squeezing it too hard. Lennie's dream is to take care of rabbits. When the puppy dies, Lennie has no real remorse for the dog- as he's only worried about what George is going to say about the dead dog (and whether or not he'll let Lennie get rabbits). Lennie tries to justify it by saying that dogs aren't rabbits and that it was the dog's fault that it died in the first place. He even considers hiding the body.

Read the excerpt from “ the lady’s dressing room”: the goddess from her chamber issues, array’d in lace brocades and tissues .

The correct answer is option A ("Sarcastic").

In this short excerpt from Jonathan Swift's poem "The Lady's Dressing Room", we have <u>a couple of clues</u> that clearly enough indicate a sarcastic tone.

Primarily, what I'm looking at is <u>the choice of words</u> from the author:

The woman is not being addressed as a simple human but rather a female deity or <u>goddess</u>. Her struggles (as large as they may seem to her), are somewhat dismissed or mocked by the poet considering that the lady is surrounded by luxury. The mention of <u>brocades</u> also points towards that tonal direction, given that it's a highly expensive fabric most commonly laced with gold or silver.


Hope this helps!

It was a cold weekend morning in November when my mom came in running into my room exclaiming “Hailey, I have some exciting news for you!” “Go away mom, it's too early for this! I yelled half asleep. “Look!” she said as she held her smartphone up with two little adorable kittens on it. Then I jumped out of my bed and my my mom and I got dressed out of our pajamas got in the car and then we started driving to the shelter.
On our way there we listened to some music and the gps too. It was a lot of stress and shock for my family and I because we had just lost our other cat G-G that my mom had for many years of her life. But along with the stress shock and fear came joy and happiness.When you're woken up with your mom telling you that you're going to adopt/own an animal you are excited for what is to come.

As we walked out of the car and into the old and rusty shelter I can hear meowing from inside and barking from next door. As we walk into the shelter I can hear a screech. “Don't let the cats out!” yelled a lady wearing a plaid. So my mom signs in and I go and sit on the couch, while two cats start climbing on my arms “Mom, look at these adorable kittens!” “Hailey, you know that we can’t afford more than one cat but you have been very responsible with your brothers and homework… so Yes!” then she walked away to go see how much it was for two cats.
The second that I heard that we were getting a cat I was super happy but then when I heard that we were getting two cats I was astonished. As w edrove back to our home I could hear them meowing the whole entire time and I felt so bad for them.
